Mono Koto Store

Unique hand-crafted products, many of them made by local artisans, and nice coffee in ‘Urabukuro’. [日本語]

Mono Koto Store is a bricks and mortar incarnation of an online store with the mission of selecting and showcasing beautifully crafted products by up and coming Japanese creators and artisans.

The inviting shop is in the ‘Urabukuro’ shopping area that runs just south of, and parallel to, the Hondori shopping arcade. Inside, the wide range of inventive products on display includes bamboo tableware, stylish handbags fashioned from Japanese washi paper, local ceramics, jewelry, razor sharp knives and wooden children’s toys.

It’s an interesting place to browse, though, with surprisingly reasonable prices, there’s a good chance you’ll walk out with a unique gift or a treat for yourself. Mono Koto Store is also a nice place to enjoy a freshly brewed cup of pour over coffee.
